Hi All
The beetle engine bay wasn’t as bad as the combi van. My father-in-law had a split screen camper which he asked me to start (mid seventies). Fortunately apart from needing a trailing light to see into the depths of the engine bay ( the split screen had no hatch on top) I only needed to set the points and timing and the six volt battery got it spluttering into action. The camper had, by that time, done several trips to Italy. His son rolled it a year or so later and it never recovered.
Happy times.
Cheers
Howard
